Yoichi 12

Nikka Yoichi 12, one of the standards from the Yoichi line. Bottled at 45%

• Nose: Peaty and very maritime, smokey and a bit grassy with honey in the background. Hints of tobacco and oak
• Mouth: Quite light, peat, some very light oak and a touch of sherry?
• Finish: Some woods, peat, medium long, warm

Comment: Classic peaty Yoichi but not overly complex. I think the 10 year old or the 15 year old are a much better deal value wise.
